The contract offer would provide hourly employees with 15% guaranteed combined wage increases and lump-sums, and improved benefits over the life of the contract, the company said in a statement.

F unions entirely. They are a leach. No company is better off with a union.
At $14 an hour (tier 1), that's only a $2.10 increase. Even if an assembly worker was making $25 an hour, the offer only increases their salary by $3.75. I'd reject that offer as well.
Did anyone see Jimbo on Fox this morning? He could hardly get his words out, trying to explain what a great deal he was offering.
That's ok, because Fain deleted Ford's contract offer.
Strange. I posted this exact same information yesterday and they deleted it.
UAW's also asking for 32 hour work week. Not sure if they'll get that...should be interesting.
The UAW employees deserve more and better!
He-l give them 20% raise and COLA. STIKE!!!!!!!
Btw That raise is only half the 40% percentage that JF got as a terrible CEO!!!
Batten down the hatches. This is gonna get ugly.
Ford is stupid though. At least meet one demand. SMH
If they want adjustments for inflation, I guess they'll get adjusted for recessions & negative growth.. right?
The union asked for a 40% hourly wage increase and a return of a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Fain said Ford offered a 9% general wage increase over the life of the contract and instead of COLA, a one-time lump sum bonus. He then showed a trash can with the Ford proposal tossed into it.
Ford was the only company of the Detroit Three to make a counteroffer, but it rejected most of the union's proposals, President Shawn Fain told workers Thursday in a Facebook Live meeting.
It’s sounds like it’s going to be a long strike.
